What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Undergraduates' academic performance is susceptible to psychological factors. This study focused on investigating the relationship between professional identity, self-efficacy and academic performance of medical undergraduate and further explored the mediating role of self-efficacy. Methods: This study used quantitative research method to collect data from 350 five-year clinical medical undergraduates through an online survey. These participants completed the Professional Identity Questionnaire and the Academic Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, while the researcher assessed their academic performance by counting their GPAs. Correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between professional identity, self-efficacy, and academic performance, and the mediating effect of self-efficacy was tested through the PROCESS macro of SPSS. Results: The results showed that there was a positive correlation between medical undergraduates' professional identity and academic performance, but the correlation between them was weak ( Discussion: This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between professional identity, self-efficacy and academic performance of medical undergraduates. There is a correlation between professional identity, self-efficacy and academic performance, but the correlation between self-efficacy and academic performance is the strongest, the correlation between professional identity and self-efficacy is only moderate, and the correlation between professional identity and academic performance is the weakest. Therefore, it is recommended that medical universities and teachers pay great attention to the cognitive and psychological status of medical undergraduates, especially to the mediating role of self-efficacy, so as to help medical undergraduates to improve their academic performance in a targeted way.
